The apartment is in a local area of Bangkok, very much away from the main tourist areas. However, do not let this put you off, within five minutes you can walk to Wat Arun (Temple of the Dawn) and from there you can also take a ferry across the river to other famous attractions, such as Wat Pho and the Grand Palace. There are also a host of other boats to take you up and down the river.
You can also take a grab to Wongwian Yai BTS station and this will take you all over the city. I walked to the BTS station – if you don’t mind the heat but would like to walk through some truly local areas then I recommend that you do the same. On the walk (2 miles) you will find lots of local coffee places, shops and eateries.
The host, Title, is very kind and welcoming. I know Bangkok well but if you don’t then Title will help you in any way that she can to ensure that you have an excellent stay.
I recommend this place for anyone looking for a true taste of Bangkok, a little window into local life in this great city.
